Despite the wild and windy conditions, Moe Rotary held another highly successful Gippsland Rotary Golf Classic on 25th March.
We had 36 teams entered on the day which meant that we had a full field with 2 teams of 3 each hitting off each of the 18 holes at 12.00 pm.
The size of the field was basically due to the tremendous work of committee representatives. The club should be greatly appreciative of the efforts of Len, Helen, Wendy, Diane, John , Robin, Alan and Maureen for their dedication to planning sessions, willingness to follow up all possible leads regarding sponsorship, team recruitment and donations of goods and services, and their enthusiasm for the successful operation of the event.
We sincerely thank Moe Rotarians for their input, both on the day, and for those who assisted with preliminary organisation, many of whom were operating under difficulties.
Finally, we would also wish to acknowledge our friends of Rotary (Kate, David, Brett and Irene) for their assistance in so many ways. Contact has also been made with Inner Wheel through President Suzie, acknowledging yet another outstanding effort
We will be thanking our sponsors in next week's Latrobe Valley Express, and Robin is preparing photos to be attached to our email of thanks to sponsors.
We are still a week or so away from announcing our profit, but it will register in excess of $20,000.
